Just some ideas.... each based off the lore

I don't think having differences in races is a good idea. Elitism in this game would say your stupid for being a Elezen mage. Etc. My proposal is to have these differenced tied to the gods that you get to choose from at character creation. This way, we can be who we want, and have what bonus we want.

Can't say i hate that idea....but wouldnt that be almost the same as it being a racial trait?

your a mage....why do you have THAT god as ur diety? it only gives u melee buffs....whine whine whine from the "elites"

Not if you keep who has which god hidden.

I do not dissagree with you, however some of the best players I saw at certain jobs in XI were the opposite of what they should of been. Elvaan Black Mages, Tarutaru Monks, Galka White Mages, Hume - Humes..........

I have to admit I find myself on the fence when it comes to this, on one hand I think there should differences (Roedagyn don't exactly strike me as having the dex and stealth of Miqote) and on the other hand I would rather not be stuck choosing one race over another just because that race is better suited for the main classes I'm going to be playing. If SE didn't charge per character that would be fine, but they do and since characters can change to any class having the differences can cause problems if your race doesn't fit class but you want to get all classes done on that character. Galka being mages on 11 was a prime example.
Mairuzu ---> I too miss the 2 hour abilities.

Is there anyone else that thinks there should be a difference between the playable races other than from a purely aesthetic point of view?

No.

"I am not suggesting a race difference like FFXI. I do not want a Roedagyn to not be able to be a caster because their mp pool is abysmal. I simply want there to be a small difference in stats, around 5-10% taken from one or two stats and added to another to reflect what the race is, supposedly, evolutionarily apt towards."

While I'm alright with that idea, I was under the impression that points would be manually allotted for all classes in 1.20
